Function
GLibstrsplit
Description
Splits a string into a maximum of max_tokens
pieces, using the given
delimiter
. If max_tokens
is reached, the remainder of string
is
appended to the last token.
As an example, the result of g_strsplit (“:a:bc::d:”, “:”, -1) is a
NULL
-terminated vector containing the six strings “”, “a”, “bc”, “”, “d”
and “”.
As a special case, the result of splitting the empty string “” is an empty vector, not a vector containing a single string. The reason for this special case is that being able to represent an empty vector is typically more useful than consistent handling of empty elements. If you do need to represent empty elements, you’ll need to check for the empty string before calling g_strsplit().
This function is not directly available to language bindings.
